I took some of my initial thoughts and reactions to the whole TikTok ban situation and tried to put them into semi-coherent words.

The whole thing is stupid and blatant political theater. But it unfortunately still matters—not because of the app itself, but because of what it represents about the current state of the country and the relationship between technology companies, billionaires, and our institutions of government.
